Many of you may not be aware that there is a real battle going on right now for the future of software. The main protagonists are Micro$oft and the Open Source community [linux is a big player, but I use Open Office for w-p presentations etc, and Firefox to browse as well as Thunderbird for email ... ]. M$ seems to currently be funding all manner of dirty tricks to stem the flow of open source and therefore essentially free or super cheap software, which is winning hearts and minds in the developing world and may soon be making significant impacts in the developed world [I have a dual boot machine and would probably give Windows the boot once I've managed to get linux networked -at the moment it's the one downside to the OS].
So if you want to get a feel for this warfare, start here.
